[hawing]

Argh, I suppose the Astros are saving Jose "just a smidge taller than hawing" Altuve for pinch-hit heroics.

[The stache]

Oh please. Aoki stole that, and his foot never came off the bag. Awful call by the ump.

[jjgott]

That was one of the few times the contact play actually worked. Too bad it also included Segura getting banged up.

[dlk9s]

Didn't look too bad. His shin probably got bruised and cut a bit.

[Lee16]

I am actually glad that the wife wants to go run errands now, so I won't be around to watch the bullpen blow this one.

[Patrick425]

That ball hid by Maldanado looked like it hit a towel. Isn't there a ground rule that covers that?

[cnycerveceros]

Shocking.

[chickinbrickin]

Nice DP!

[cnycerveceros]

Nicely done.

[hawing]

To the bottom of the ninth we've gone. Gulp.

[pretendastronaut]

To the bottom of the ninth we've gone. Gulp.

I don't know what you're worried about, it's not like Loe is our third bullpen arm in the top ten in the NL for blown saves...oh, he is....nevermind.

[The stache]

Ugh. Loe. Can't he throw the ball ten feet in the air? Did he have to bounce it to first?

[AZBrewCrew]

Cameron Loe for closer.

[jjgott]

Ugh. Loe. Can't he throw the ball ten feet in the air? Did he have to bounce it to first?

 

I know people always say "they're not used to the throw" but I can never understand how a pitcher can't make that throw. I play softball once a week in the summer, so I'm no where near "used" to any throw, and I can probably make that throw 9.999/10 times.

[pretendastronaut]

[sarcasm]Never a doubt.[/sarcasm]

[cnycerveceros]

Something positive: losses don't bother me this year, and any win is great!

[MNBrew]

Whew!

I've liked what I saw this weekend of Segura's defense. Any other opinions?

[Funketown]

I've liked what I saw this weekend of Segura's defense. Any other opinions?

 

[sarcasm]I agree that you like what you've seen of Segura's defense.[/sarcasm]

 

I think he's looked pretty good at SS; he's shown some decent range on a few plays and turned that beautiful DP pretty naturally with Weeks today.

 

Along with the good gap power we saw today, I think we should be pleased with how he's looked.

[markedman5]

I'd like to see a race between Segura and Gomez.......

 

Damn are new SS is fast....

[TURBO]

I just hope he is our answer for the next 10 years at SS...

 

Would be great to not have to worry about that position any longer.

[logan82]

If he is any good we will only have him for 6-7 years.

 

The only thing I am worried about so far is his approach. Seems like a bit of a free swinger so far. Probably a bit early to make any judgements though.

[TheCrew07]

Depending on the agent it's pretty easy to buy out a FA year or 2 if the offer is made soon enough.
